Bring family and friends to this beautiful, spacious, open plan log home. Set back from the road in the quiet town of Marilla, right in the backyard of Buffalo, NY. 15 minutes to East Aurora and only 30 minutes to the city of Buffalo.
The space
Quiet & peaceful. Surrounded by a treed lot, with private pond and connected to snowmobile trails - there's something to enjoy for every season.
The main floor is up on the second level with an open floor plan that provides a large area for the kitchen, dining room family room. This floor has two full bathrooms. The lower level is a large walkout basement with a dry bar, game area/lounge, and laundry and full bath. You will also find the bedroom with bunkbeds on the lower level while the others are on the main second level. Each bed has washable mattress and pillow protectors.
The backyard has a fire-pit on a generous paved patio, back deck with gas grill and a large pond that is over 200 yards long with bass, perch, bluegills and koi. The front of the house has a large deck overlooking woods. As soon as snow begins to fall the dock will be removed from the pond each year and placed back once warmer weather resumes.
We tried to make the space as kid friendly as possible - we have kids cups, dishes, baby gate, pack and play, and a booster seat. We also have a rollaway memory foam bed if you have a toddler that you'd like to sleep ground level and or in the same room as you. The downstairs bunk room is designed with kids in mind. The beds sit low to the ground so that the overall height is not too tall and have a safety rail for the top bunk. If you need a pack and play, high chair or any other needs please let us know so we can provide what you need!
Please note this house is NOT to be used for parties outside of family related events. No underage drinking or ANY smoking is permitted. NO pets.
****If you require an early check-in or check-out and we are able to accommodate this, there is an extra $50/per additional hour charge.
Guest access
Stone driveway is big enough for several cars. DO NOT park on the grass.
Other things to note
*Unfortunately because we’ve had issues with previous stays- if you liter outside around the property the cleaning fee will double and you will be charged an additional 125$
*check out is PROMPTLY by 10AM unless you have made other accommodations approved by us. With the size of the property we typically need the FULL amount of time between guests to clean. If you are still at the property after 10AM our cleaners will begin cleaning the property while you are still there. Extra fees may apply.
Dock/kayaks, Patio and outdoor furniture will be seasonal and put out May 1 of each year and put away on Nov 1
We have a long gravel driveway. While we use a plow service, heavy snowfall may delay immediate clearing. For this reason, we recommend that guests have a vehicle with all-wheel drive (AWD) during your snow season stays.
